Prep, prep prep......

I am really growing very fond of Indian cuisine.  It has some bold, hearty flavors that really appeal to me.  The only thing that I don't like is the prep.  As with stir fry, Indian cooking requires lots of prep.  Mise en place is crucial.  You need to have your crap in one sock (as we would say in the Navy.....well we didn't quite say it that way).

This is just some of the prep for 3 Indian dishes.

Lamb meatballs are simmering and the vegetable korma is just about done.  You can tell by the clock on the stove that we are eating a little late.  All that prep takes time.
